SA: Celine stars on a Hayesy day
By Peter Neall, August 25, 2025 - 5:37 PM

The famous SA name of Hayes reigned again in Adelaide racing last Saturday after brothers Ben, Will and J.D. notched a Morphettville Parks treble capped by Cafe Millenium in the listed Leon Macdonald Stakes (1400m).
Cafe Millenium ($7.50) came from well back under Celine Gaudray, who rode all three of the stable’s winners, to beat $2 favourite Splash Back. 
The brothers and Gaudray had landed the first leg of their treble when Bacash ($1.28 favourite) led all the way in the first, a benchmark 66 for three-year-olds over 1250 metres. 
The middle leg of their treble was Podargoni ($21), who sat one off the pace before surging home to beat $2.70 favourite I Catchem Fox by a half-length in 0-68 company over 1400 metres.
Swoopers score for Mick
Wellington-based Michael Hickmott was the other training star of the Parks meeting, bringing up the first leg of a double when six-year-old Rabtat ($4.40) won the benchmark 78 handicap over 1950 metres. 
Coming off a fourth on the same track, Rabtat ran on from the back half of the field to score by the narrowest of margins under Rochelle Milnes.
 Hickmott completed his double with $4.20 favourite  Anotherhouse in the last, a benchmark 62 over 1250 metres. 
Ridden by promising three-kilo claimer Caitlin Tootell, Anotherhouse came from the back half of field to score a half-length.
Brendon brings it
Local trainer Brendon Davis was the toast of Port Augusta last Sunday after training a treble.
His first two winners started favourite and were ridden by claiming apprentice Sophie Potter — Django Express ($3.10) and Jinsoku ($3.30 favourite). 
Margaret Collett rode his third winner, Unisphere ($11), completing a double of her own after winning earlier on Normie No Show ($6.50) for Murray Bridge-based Garret Lynch.
Earlier, Stephen Theodore celebrated his 350th winner when Sairyn Fawke won the opener on Pirate ($1.95 favourite). Theodore completed a popular early double in the next when apprentice Polly Brewster guided The Streaker ($1.85 favourite) to victory.
Fawke completed a bookend double when the Peter Nolan-trained Shikanic ($2.70 favourite) won the last.   

Quaddie King
Claiming apprentice Brooke King was the star of Wednesday’s Gawler meeting, riding three of the four quaddie leg winners.
King started with a running double for Strathalbyn trainer Grant Kluske, taking an 1100-metre Class 2 on Gold Spirit ($4.20) and the 0-56 handicap for colts, geldings and entires over 1200 metres on The Ice Cutter ($6.50).
After an unplaced ride in the third leg — won by Teagan Voorham on $26 chance Grandellie — KIng knocked out most remaining punters by winning the 1516-metre 0-56 handicap on Spelman ($17) for Morphettville trainer Mark Lewis.
The quaddie paid $23,920 on the local tote.
